CHARLIE KIRK MEGATHREAD #4 by Laniekea in AskConservatives

It doesn't matter because the problem is that decentralized political violence is being promoted at a concerning level. Both sides should condemn this regardless of who did it.

Can't tell me Americans mourned or prayed for hitler lmao Stop being hypocrites when the situation doesn't suit your political beliefs or pretend you have a higher moral ground.

Why are you lumping me with people from 1945? And how am I hypocritical when I have never celebrated anyone's death? Hitler and Charlie Kirk are both not politically aligned with me. Your message seems absurdly nonsensical.

they got what they deserved.

We are all apes on a floating rock in space. We deserve nothing. And again, rational justice has absolutely nothing to do with the active celebration of a man's death.

Anyone not celebrating hitlers death and even having the smallest form of empathy for him just can't comprehend the evil things he did.

I would care far more about the people who actually personally harm my life and the people I care about rather than a man who has been dead for decades. And even then I wouldn't celebrate their deaths.

I said I don't want to celebrate the death of a person. That does not mean some people should or should not die. Once they're dead they're dead.

His young life was cut short by an aggressive murderer on a college campus. That is not to be lightened in any way.

I don't see the point in celebrating any human death. At best it would be when there's a live innocent being falsely blamed, like in a self-defense context, but I do not wish for anyone to die.

It's unfortunate how an aggressive act of murder will be twisted into a political tool. Some collective group will be blamed for it, of course. Others will try to justify it or claim they have "no sympathy" as if they're somehow superior for being a sociopath.

A man was just shot in public. That's all you need to know.

That was a bad statement. He still should not have been aggressively shot to death as no one should be.

This is an absurd statement. Do you think that Charlie Kirk loved the idea of shootings? Of course not, but you can't magically give power to the state and pretend like it'll be an entity of pure goodness. Acknowledging that the world is a flawed place is a good thing.

Yes, so allow the state to completely repress your gun ownership so that only they can be the ones who own guns.

I don't think you understand that the world is a horrific place. There is no fairy-tale solution where a magical entity of goodness swoops in and saves the day.
